Patent number: 3993869Abstract: An amplifying circuit for use with a transducer includes a pair of field-effect transistors which are of different conductive types from each other and each of which has gate, drain and source electrodes. The gate electrodes of the field-effect transistors are connected to each other and are further connected to an output terminal of an electrostatic type mechanical-electrical transducer, while the source electrodes of the field-effect transistors are connected to each other and are further connected to an output circuit. One of the drain electrodes is connected to a voltage source and the other drain electrode is connected to the circuit ground. High input impedance is maintained by using no gate resistor at the input, and using a current-sourced source-follower secondstage. Source resistors improve linear performance.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 1974Date of Patent: November 23, 1976Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Osamu Kono, Takeshi Matsudaira, Makoto Ishikawa

Patent number: 3961202Abstract: A first power supply and output circuit and a second power supply and output circuit for use with a microphone unit having an electrostatic transducer and pre-amplifier transistor is disclosed. DC power to the microphone unit is supplied from the first circuit through a single core cable. An output signal from the microphone unit also passes through the cable to an output transformer in the first circuit. The first circuit has a first battery and the second circuit a DC power source which, when connected to the first circuit, stops drain on the first battery.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1974Date of Patent: June 1, 1976Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Osamu Kono, Noboru Tsuchiya, Atsushi Matsuda, Kiichi Yoshida
